Step-by-step solution

The problem

{40}\% \text{ of } {1000}
  1. Change 40% to a decimal. Divide by 100.

    40\% = 40 \div 100 = 0.4
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{0.4} \times 1000
  2. Multiply. Leave out the decimal points and multiply, then put the point back. Count the decimal places: 0.4 has 1, so the answer has 1.

    \begin{aligned} 4 \times 1000 &= 4000 \\[10pt] 4000 \div 10 &= 400 \end{aligned}
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{400}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &{40}\% \text{ of } {1000} \\[8pt] &= 0.4 \times 1000 && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{percent → decimal}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{400} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{multiply}}\end{aligned}
